MySQL over total memory allocated usage? memory leak?

Question

i'm using 5.6.21-70.0 for performance test.

when i run

mysqlslap -a --concurrency=40 --number-of-queries 1000 --iterations=500 --engine=innodb --debug-info -utest -p

do some performance test and the ram growth up over the maximum memory usage and never release

when finish mysqlslap the memory show use 78%

i have a 1G physical memory and and i do NOT use swap

KiB Mem: 1016656 total, 953808 used, 62848 free, 30324 buffers

KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 used, 0 free. 41384 cached Mem

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
26049 mysql 20 0 1544156 778316 3992 S 16.3 76.6 6:24.01 mysqld

**it seems like mysqld use about 700M memory? why it over the max memory usage? and why mysql never release the memory? **

my mysqlturning.pl shows:

[OK] Highest usage of available connections: 70% (42/60)

Answer 1

i have found out why memory leak happeneds. now i have only 1GB memory and no swap.

the performance_schema cause the allocate the memory for about 400M at startup. and innodb will take up to 400M memory usage

so，because of my.cnf use

table-definition-cache= 1024
table-open-cache= 2048 
max-connections= 60

it will cause high performance_schema allocated, more information pls see
